The jungle camp in 2021 has not been canceled. Instead of being in Wales, "I'm a star – get me out of here!" produced in Germany.
If the show "I'm a Star – Get Me Out of Here!" (IBES) due to the corona pandemic in 2021 on RTL (also via TVNow)? RTL boss Jörg Graf denies corresponding media reports with a clear statement: "Dear cockroach friends, the jungle has not been canceled, a jungle show will also take place in 2021. The current corona situation forces us to work on the concept every day to get it all safe for everyone involved. " But there is one innovation.
RTL promises "a great spectacle" in Germany
The jungle camp, which celebrates its 15th anniversary in January 2021, should not be produced in Australia for the first time, but in Wales – more precisely at Gwrych Castle. Wales is currently in corona lockdown. The contact restrictions in the country initially apply from October 23, 2020 to November 9, 2020. Filming is still possible, Gwrych Castle in North Wales confirmed on October 19 on twitter. Still nothing comes of it.
RTL entertainment director Markus Küttner explains: "We had hoped until the very end that we would see the next season of 'I'm a star – get me out of here!' in Wales. But with the increase in the number of infections, we decided against it in close cooperation with our producer ITV Studios. "
Instead, it becomes a domestic production. "As much as we care about this production, the safety and health of everyone involved have absolute priority. That is why we are planning a new, exciting IBES show with Sonja (Zietlow) and Daniel (Hartwich) in Germany. The audience can look forward to it looking forward to a great spectacle in January ", Küttner continued.
Sonja Zietlow (52) has hosted the show since the first season, Daniel Hartwich (42) has been with the show since season seven. The rumor mill about possible candidates for the jungle camp 2021 is already simmering. Among other things, according to media reports, designer Harald Glööckler (55), actress Tina Ruland (54), designer Claudia Effenberg (55), YouTuber Lisha Savage and singer Lucas Cordalis (53) will be there. Like every year, RTL remains silent.
